SOME time ago the House OF Repre-
sentatives passed q resolution request
ing the Secretary OF the Treasury to In
form the House as to the interpreta-
tation given by the department to the
tariff law Of 1883, which In one se,tion
declars that fish, fresh for immedi.
ate consumption shall be free of tax
on arrival at seaports or lake ports,
and In another section declares that
''foreign caught fish, imported fresh,
shall be taxed at the rate Of fifty cents
per hundred pounds" In reply to
this resolution Of the House, Secretary
Manning has sem q report In which
he furnishes the official decisions,
opinions, and correspondence upon
the question, q mass of material which
indicates that a great amount Of labor
IL expended by our administrative
officials simply In constructing tariff
provisions. Secretary Manning, a.
might be expected, takes advantage Of
She occasion 10 urge again upon Con.
gress the necessity Of correcting the
antiquities Of the tariff, a matter
which is not necessarily connected
with any question OF tariff policy.
The Secretary also condemns in very
severe terms the action OF the Domin-
ion government In the fishery dispute.

The 'Pnison Wind" Of the Slope.


The people living on the bluffs Of the
Missouri in Dakota suffer severely from
sand storms" said a man from the Tu-
lare country yesterday, "and ] hear your
people think thrir cup Of misery is over
flowing when a blizzard swoops down
upon them; but Of all the winds that
blow the poison wind OF the slope is
perhaps the worst. This wind affects
man. beast, fruit, tree and flower with
ITS balcful effects. The skin Of the hui
man being becomes dry and one suffers
the excruciating pangs of thirst. Cattle
evince peculiar nervousness and thirst,
while the milk supply diminishes. Horses
seem to lose their breath and suffer from
fatigue. In the vegetable kingdom the
fruit and other trees exposed 10 the wind
present a dried up and burned appear
ance. Apples which on one side are not
ripe are withcred where exposed. IN
welcome as this wind is in autumn its
more disastrous effects are felt in the
spring, when young fruit and grains are
often blightcd within an hour after the
wind began blowing. Chicago Herald.

Disadvantages Of Flesh.

1t is generally supposed that fat people
have much more blood than others. On
the contrary, they have less. The blood
they have. moreover, is really poor, while
the fat fills the space which is required
ever for the circulation Of that. The fat
have then less vital energy than the thin,
not possessing sufficient blood to bring
every organ up TO its full working power,
and the fat bindering what blood there is
from flowing freely enough to the organ,
especially at the moment of action requir-
ing il. Beside all this, the fat obstructs
the play Of the lungs, so that sufficient
air cannot lie inhaled TO purify the blood.
The natural and necessary combustion is
thus so interfered with that the functions
Of the body are hindered. II follows that
too much exertion should always be
guarded against in people Of large and
fatty development, and too much should
never be expected Of hem.-Harper's
Bazar.

A Very Remote Ancestor.

Word comes Of the death of the Due de
Lewis, head of the oldest family of French
nobility. In his ancestral halls he had
two paintings, one representing one of
his ancestors bowling, hat in hand, TO the
Virgin Mary, who says to him, "Couvrez-
vous mon cousin!' and the other showing
a more remote ancestor shouting to Noah
as he entered the ark. ''Sauvez les papiers

Tuesday, January as, 1887.

The House OF Representatives on
Tuesday passed the bill creating the
department of agriculture and labor,
with but twenty-six votes recorded
against the measure. The bill pro.
vides for the consolidation OF the
bureaus Of agriculture aud labor into u
department, differed similarly to the
existing executive departments. The
chief Of the new department would be
known a. the secretary Of agriculture
and labor, and would have aD assis.
tant secretary. A division Of the de-
partment would be under charge Of IA
commissioner of labor, whose duties
are prescribed and consist In part Of
collecting information upon the SUBJ
ject of labor. its relation to capital,
hours OF labor. rates Of wages, cost of
production of articles produced, earn
iDgs VI laboring men and women,
means OF protecting their material,
social, intellectual and moral prosper
itv. and the best means to protect life
and prevent accidents in mines, work.
shops, factories and other places of in
dustry. Authority is given the secre-
tary to inquire into causes Of discon-
tent that may exist between employ
ers and employees within the United
States. The measure appears to be
very thorough and comprehensive in
its requirements and regulations.
This legislation is the outcome of a
number of years Of agitation during
which the interests involved have
been steadily growing in extent and
importance. We do not recall the
time when the proposition was first
made to create a department, instead
Of q bureau Of agriculture, but the
matter has been urged upon the atten-
ton of Congress for at least a score OF
years. Yet until within the past two
or three years il received little favora-
BILE consideration. 1t Is not unlucky
that the later concern shown in the
matter by Congress is largely due to
the increased influence exerted by the
labor interests of the country, which
demands to be more prominently iden-
titled with the government than it has
been, or perhaps could be, under pres
ent conditions. There is no sound
reason why there should not be such a
department az the bill In question pro-
vides for, aud If It's creation will pro-
mote the prosperity and welfare of the
great interest 1t would represent In
the government, as may fairly be as,
sumed. that Is sufficient answer to
any objections to the legislation. Ag.
riculture and labor are the foundations
of the national prosperity, aud il Is a
wise policy that provides the largest
and most Ii Jeral means for obtaining
an accurate knowledge Of their condi-
ton and requirements, and gives them
such q place in the consideration OF
the government as will assure them
equal attention with all other inter,
ests. France and other countries o.
Europe have always pursued this pol
10y, aud If the results with them hav,
attested its wisdom there can be n,
doubt that they will do SO with US

Dakota as She is.

For severe winters Dakota caps the
climax; for mild Writer'S Dakota car
ries the medal; for big wheat crops
Dakota has no peer; for poor wheat
crops Dakota probably stands on the
top round of the ladder; for beauti-
full weather Dakota has no equal; for
disagreeabe weather Dakota has no
peer; of intelligent, energetic and re-.
fined people Dakota has 4 large ma.
iorlty; of rustlers who are direct from
RustIefgile. Dakota is made up; her
business men are nearly all young men
who have not yet reached life's ma
jority; although Dakota is larger
than any state or territory III the
union excepting Texas aud California,
an unjust democratic lminisir'lli N
will not allow her To enter into the
sisterhood of states; although Dakota
is wealthy enough To build dozen
such navies rs the United States now
possesses, congress thinks = would
suit the democratic party better to
have her remain territory for three
or four years yet. And the question
of division has been left to vote of
the people, said election to take place
next June. But she viii not be di-
vided, for the simple reason that di
vision is not necessary. Dakota will
either be admitted rs u whcle. as the
brightest star in the constellation Of
the inseparable sisterhood, or she will
not be admitted at all; and ii this
democratic administration which is
rotten with selfishness and partiality,
again refuses her the right which was
given her long before such corrup-
ton of morals as the democratic party
came into existence, said admiristrs-
ton will die at the hands Of the. peo-
pie whose rights as American citizens
it has so often denied and restrained !;
right which, is US sacred to the peo-
pile of fair Dakota as ia the book of
God right which she is lawfully en-
titled to in every way, shape and man
ner, and in order o remain loyal to
the republican party and her country,
she WILL have that right.

isa';sts viii place their money here at
q reasonable rate on chattels, for the
simple reason that they can now OBJ
tain 10 per cent on real estate security
and the additional 2 per cent allowed
by law does not pay them for the
extra trouble and risk OF
loaning on chattels. The fact
that money is now loaned on real
estate at a lower rate than the law al
lows assures us that legal limitations
have nothing whatever to do with the
question, but that this. like all other
commercial transactions, is controlled
by the laws Of supply and demand.
We think the measure will have a
salutary effect upon the money market

FRED C KILE. PusL,sHrE,

DoN'rimagine for moment that
you will get dollar y bushel for your
wheat next fall because of war with
Great Britain over the fisheries questin.
Besides the very doubtful advantages
which would arise from such con-
summation, we have no idea that war
will ensue between two nations that
are really anxious to perserve peace
toward each other. Aside from the
swaggcr and bluster which is usually
indulged in when such disputes arise,
both nations are really anxious to
make amicable arrangements, and we
predict that it will not he long before
commissions are appointed to adjust
matters on u satisfactory basis. The
Canadian authorities are doing on the
Atlantic just what our government
did in Alaska, i. e., confiscatlng vessels
found fishing Within the three mile
limit When the C0rwin siezcd Ca.
nadian vessels for alleged poaching
upon Alaskan sealing groun.S, the Ca-
,ni.diaus denied aud still deny the
charge, and on I've other hand our
American fishermen fOrswear the
slightest intention of infringing up
on the rights of their Canadian breth-
cru. Here, then, are two nations ar
rayed against each other OH mere
questions OF fact, and we can only de-
termine which is wrong b, u thorough
investigation. The dispute involves
40 question of international law and
calls for no such high strung orator.
ical efforts AS was INDUCED in by our
honorable sena Ell few days ago. al.
though we must say we like to hear
the eagle scream once in while just
by way of variety. We admire the
patriotism of the honorable gentlemen
who, by the way, are toe old to be sub
iect 70 draft, but we think one or two
of them hardly realized what they said
when they thundered forth their ava
lalicbes Of blood and thunder at onr
neighbors to the north. Every Amer
lean says with Patrick Henry, Give
me liberty or give me death" but wal
is too terrible thing to be SO lightl,
spoken of. Survivors of the late wal
know how it is. J 70 venture the as.
sertion that the situation would be
grave indeed before they would vote
To declare war against anybody. The
boys who suffered, bled aud starved
from 81 to '63 will at least endeayor
to settle aquestlon by diplymacy be-
fole resorting to the bloody argument
of tho sword.

One of the most important pieces
of legislation before the legislature
this winter is the bill which passed the
house last Monday abolishing the us
ury law 1t is All Important measure
because any law affecting the borrow
ing or loaning of mouey is of great
Importance to the farmers of Dakota,
who are in the main borrowers. AT
first thought it would appear that the
bill is dangerous, that it will permit
money sharks to numerically grind
the faces OF the poor. but y sober, sec
ond consideration will reverse that
opinion. AT the present time it is un-
Lawful to charge more than IL per
cent for the use of money, bat we all
know that 1t is impossible to borrow il
ut that rate and that . and B per cent
i monthis about the minimum rate
Oh chattel security. The fact, that IL
is unlawful to charge more than IL
per cent confines the Ioaning Of money
on chattels Ton real estate hundreds OF
firms are anxious to place loans at 10
per cent? to few unscrupulous indi-
viduals who would break almost any
law IN the c..Itndar for the sake Of
gain. 1t makes the borrower acrim-
inal also. Abolish the rate and cap
